Very spooky holographic plane hovering immobile over freeway/motorway in UK

Hi ATS,

On the way back from lunch with my family in North_West England, UK, my family & I witnessed something downright bizarre. Unfortunately we weren't able to get photos due to the curve of the freeway/motorway taking us behind a line of trees which obscured our view.

As we approached the exit ramp, I noticed a large passenger jet (probably a 747 or equivalent) apparently in a position which suggested a line of flight over the bridge which the exit ramp leads onto. I had a moment of puzzlement, because I've taken the exit hundreds of times in the past few years, and being a local resident who is situated directly under a flight path, I knew that no flight path crossed the freeway/ motorway at that location, or at such low altitude.

My puzzlement turned to a sickening feeling as we drove off the exit ramp & began to cross the bridge - it didn't seem to be moving! It literally appeared to be hovering, stock still, approximately just under half a kilometer away, with absolutely no motion in any direction, and absolutely no sound whatsoever - at such proximity it should have been roaring. It gave me a very, very uncertain feeling in my gut - it was a very 'wrong' situation on many levels.

Now what's strange is that I saw a YouTube video a couple of weeks ago which seemed to show the exact same situation - a plane hovering over a freeway/motorway junction & bridge, no motion, no noise. I had assumed the video was a fake - but now I'm having second thoughts. I believe the freeway/motorway junction location for these experiences is deliberately chosen so that reactions can be gauged but there is little chance that anyone will be able to record the event - because it's over as soon as it's noticed, due to speed & direction of travel, and skyline obstructions.

It seems to me that they have perfected the holographic projection technology. Now the question is - what are they going to use it for? (And has it been used covertly on a previous occasion perhaps?)

Why didn't the driver stop? That would help prove the jet was not moving.

I saw the same thing in 2010. Norway, moss.

We were driving along the highway, saw a few planes fly by.

I see a slow moving plane.

Its getting bigger kinda fast and at one point we overtake it

Its the most bizzare thing i have ever seen. It went out of my sight for maybe a second driving under a bridge and when we re emerge i see no plane.

It was so bizzare i asked my friends if they saw a plane. Noone did and i didny say a word about it.

S+F

I see this all the time. Depending on where you’re viewing the airplane from sometimes they look they’re almost standing still. Especially if you’re going in the opposite direction.

One can't just stop on a motorway. Even if there is a hard shoulder it's extremely dangerous and illegal.

Interesting to say the least! S&F

Aside from holograghic technology, one could speculate that it could be a ufo cloaked as a plane.

I've seen a number of strange amateur videos showing something trying to mimic clouds in the sky, but revealing it's edges every so often.

Hard to say. Thanks for sharing!

The first video. Can a plane fly that slow without stalling and crashing?

Whats the slowest a large airplane can fly at?

It only looks like it’s flying slow because the angle the person is viewing it from and a headwind. I used to live near Sea-Tac and airplanes would look like they were standing still over me when I was walking down the street.

Or, it’s a glitch in the matrix.

Don´t come up with logical explanations, nobody wants to hear them.
It´s the Matrix!
Or aliens!

What the actual crap? Real or fake, it's pretty darn creepy.

Must be a glitch as the UK does not have freeways and exit ramps, although the explanation above by underwerks seems a pretty obvious explanation.

Optical illusion would seem the likeliest option. However--and maybe I'm wrong-- but a plane coming in that close should be making a lot more noise. In the video, all I hear is normal traffic sound. I don't hear the airplane. Also It doesn't seem to move relative to the light post that appears just underneath of it.

I wonder if anyone is thinking holographic airplanes and 9/11?

You can fly backwards and stay stable with enough of a head wind. I used to fly a hang glider, and guys did it all the time on those. Just as long as you don't hit stall speed

They at times change the commercial flight paths here when things are going on at the military base. One path they use comes directly down the street we use to exit the neighborhood.

More than a few times I've seen a commercial jet appear to be stationary in the sky for few minutes. What's actually happening is it's gaining altitude and getting closer geographically at the same time while coming directly at me and it's an illusion. Even though it's getting closer, it's higher up so maintains the actual distance from the viewer. I've also seen that from a hotel while in Miami.

Hehe welll the plane i personally saw was flying in the same directions we were driving. And out of view for a few seconds. Its gone..

Ok, MOTORways, then. Happy, now? And there are quite definitely entrance and exit ramps. Even with thousands of roundabouts, you DO still have to get on and off the MOTORways.

In terms of them "standing still," it's just perspective. No hologram necessary to explain this. A modern jetliner's speed on landing is in the 160 mph range with full flaps.

a motorway number , and junction would help

It depends on wind conditions. I've had fighters go over me and crank the power, and didn't hear them until they were past me. Other times I've heard them on the taxiway, at ground idle, from a quarter mile or more.
